ANDERS SUNDKVIST (1959) grew up in Luleå in Northern Sweden and now resides in Stockholm. He has led a long and successful career as an award-winning journalist and has worked as a reporter and editor for several large Swedish media houses. In 2021, Sundkvist made his literary debut with the suspense novel The Returner, which was instantly hailed by readers and critics alike. The same year it was nominated by the Swedish Crime Writers’ Academy for Best Crime Debut of the Year. Since then, he has published two more stand-alone novels.

Sundkvist’s latest novel, Without a Trace, was published by Norstedts in September 2025. It marks the start of his new series, Crime Scene North, which is set in and around the area of Luleå.

Reviews

“In his new series, [Anders Sundkvist] considerably ramps up the suspense and delivers an irresistible crime novel, where several threads come together in a neat and surprising way. Simply a must-read.”
Skånska Dagbladet (SE)

“The characters are the highlight of Without A Trace; a subtle, realistic and chillingly suspenseful police procedural […]. In a voice that is entirely his own, Anders Sundkvist narrates a story about lonely people.”
Vi Läser (SE)

“Without A Trace is a well-written suspense novel, where the case steadily unfolds, without the reader losing track or figuring out the resolution too quickly. It’s surely because of the complex characters who have a depth that many books in the same genre lack.”
